Urbex: West Park Lunatic Asylum, Epsom, Surrey – January 2013 (Revisit)

West Park Asylum Asylum Morgue, Mortuary and Histopathology Department – Brain Blocks

For a bit of History and more photos from my first visit to West Park in 2010 check out this post!

Regretfully I never saw enough of West Park while it was still around. Most of the site has now been renovated into new housing and the few remaining buildings are mainly stripped. This little gem however still remains. It seems to have become somewhat of a popular explore these day. I thought it had only recently been discovered however I have since found reports dating back as far as 2008. I arrived with Sam the Mule in tow just as it was getting dark so all the photos were shot with a flash and bounce card (not my preferred method). I’d have liked to have spent longer here and had a bit of a look around during the day but this was the third spot of what turned out to be an epic day of exploring. I ticked of 3 sites which were high on my to do list including 2 morgues! not bad for a days work!

This building was originally built to function as a morgue but later became the Histopathology department where blood and brain samples were collected from deceased patients I can only assume for later examination. Surprisingly some samples were still left and available to photograph.
